Twitter said the main reason of opening an office in Ghana is mainly based on some factors. He said the factors were the country’s AfCFTA negotiations, internet access, online and offline free speech policy.
“As a champion for democracy, Ghana happens to be a supporter of free speech, online freedom, and the Open Internet, of which Twitter is also an advocate, “Twitter reveals in a statement’.
In continuation, Ghana’s recent appointment to host The Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area centres with our overarching goal to establish a presence in the region that will support our efforts to improve and tailor our service across Africa.
Ghana Relationship With Twitter
Ghanaian President Nana Akufo – Addo expressed delight at Twitter’s decision to open its African headquarter in the country.
Look at what Akufo Addo Tweeted
The choice of Ghana as HQ for Twitter’s Africa operations is EXCELLENT news. Gov’t and Ghanaians welcome very much this announcement and the confidence reposed in our country. 1/3 #TwitterInGhana #TwitterGhana https://t.co/HdCqFgXK0x

The Ghanaian President revealed that he met with Dorsey virtually on April 7, where they both reached an agreement on Twitter’s activity in Ghana. Akufo – Addo said the contract “is the start of a beautiful partnership between Twitter and Ghana, which is critical for the development of Ghana’s hugely important tech sector.
‘These are exciting times to be in and to run business in Ghana’.
FACTORS BEHIND TWITTER NOT CHOOSING NIGERIA
Many citizens of Nigeria are very disappointed about Twitter’s choice of having its office in Ghana and not Nigeria where tech space looks ripe for the company’s presence in Africa.
According to global digital insights providers, Datareportal.com said there were 85.49 million internet users in Nigeria in January 202. The number of internet user in Nigeria increased by 2.2million [+2.6%] between 2019 and 2020. Internet penetration in Nigeria stood at 42% in January 2020. But according to this results, Ghana outranked Nigeria with these figures: Internet Users in Ghana at 14.76million. The number of internet users in Ghana increased by 1.0million [+7.5%] between 2019 and 2020. Internet penetration in Ghana stood at 48% in January 2020.

Why did Twitter choose Ghana as HQ?
1. Champion for democracy,
2. Supporter of free speech, online freedom, and the Open Internet,
3. Ghana’s hosting The Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area.Tweet was signed by a Nigerian working in Twitter

Ghana 🇬🇭 has made a lot of progress in the last decade and there is so much Nigeria 🇳🇬 can learn from them.
First of, peace and stability helps. We need to significantly deal with insecurity in Nigeria.
Then, the constant policy summersault and irrational regulations must end.

Why Ghana?
“Ghana’s recent appointment to host The Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area aligns with…efforts to improve and tailor our service across Africa.”
As promised #AfCFTA = Jobs for Ghanaians. More to come! 🇬🇭 https://t.co/tMky8uO2ke— Alan John Kyerematen (@AlanKyerematen) April 12, 2021
I hope you have created 100 jobs in the last 5 years before saying Twitter going to Ghana 🇬🇭 instead of Nigeria 🇳🇬 is not a big deal. If you haven’t created jobs, please don’t embarrass yourself.

Don’t accept wike’s deceptive Financial bribe- IPOB warns IMO communities

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has warned the people of Ohaji Local Government Area of Imo State against ceding their land to Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
IPOB cautioned the people of Ohaji against accepting Wike’s alleged satanic and deceptive financial inducement.
Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB, issued the warning in reaction to an alleged illegal and undocumented ceding of communities in Ohaji Local Government Area to Wike.
Powerful warned that ceding their communities to Wike would affect their children’s future; hence such a deceptive move should be rejected.
He urged the communities to treat whoever is persuading them to change their state of origin as a criminal.
Powerful noted that accepting to change their state of origin for the sake of N150,000 monthly is evil.
A statement by Powerful reads partly: “Following an illegal undocumented treaty to cede communities of Ohaji Egbema LGA from Imo State to Rivers State via a crooked financial inducement by current Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
“We the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU wish to warn that such project is called to a halt to avert inevitable consequences.
“We suggest to the communities that fall into this deceptive venture masterminded by Nyesom Wike to retrace their steps, considering that this singular act could attract futuristic destructive effects.
“IPOB was intimated with the information regarding Governor Wike’s plan, which includes conditional future promises and haven gone through these moves realized that Wike will abandon them in future because governor Wike cannot be in charge of Rivers State beyond his tenor as a current Governor.
“It is a known fact that the Imo State government failed in their obligations as it concerns the predicaments they are facing in that area, but they must forget Wike with his satanic offer. Wike’s deceptive offer would harm them and their children in the future as such may not be sustainable by successive governments. Moreover, the Biafra restoration approaches hastily.
“IPOB is advising them to retrace their steps and watch what God Almighty has in stock for them; changing God Almighty’s plans for children will harm the communities in the future, for God to have placed you where you are today does not mean that he has abandoned you.
“The communities or anybody persuading them to change their State of origin identity and be acquired like slaves with cash value of N150 (One Hundred and Fifty Naira Only) is evil and must be treated as criminal because we don’t see where old men and women, youths and educated people would allow such an undocumented territorial treaty due to hunger and abandonment.”

According to Ibiyeomie: “If you take money to vote, then you have sold your conscience. When we are shouting, you people will say I don’t shout. I am shouting now. Don’t collect bribes to vote, vote for your conscience.
“Don’t vote party again in Nigeria; vote for someone who has a vision. Nigeria is in the woods; she needs someone who has a vision.

Interpol arrests three Nigerians for international scam

The International Police (INTERPOL) has arrested three Nigerians over alleged global scam.
The trio were arrested in a sting operation conducted simultaneously in a Lagos suburb, Ajegunle and in Benin City, 300 km to the East of the commercial capital.
One of the scammers, Hendrix Omorume has been charged and convicted and now faces a 12-month prison sentence.
The three men, aged between 31 and 38, were each arrested in possession of fake documents, including fraudulent invoices and forged official letters.
The investigation was conducted in conjunction with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The operation is part of a global operation codenamed “Killer Bee” involving INTERPOL National Central Bureaus (NCBs) and law enforcement in 11 countries across Southeast Asia.
According to INTERPOL’s Director of Cybercrime, Craig Jones, the organisation had “to alert Nigeria to a serious security threat where millions could have been lost without swift police action.”
The laptops and mobile phones seized by EFCC during the arrests, were examined by the INTERPOL to help confirm the systematic use of “Agent Tesla” malware to access business computers and divert monetary transactions to their own accounts.
